Bahrain Bay
Art Deco meets Gulf resort. Interiors evoke the grandeur of 1930s transatlantic ocean liners — rich materials, geometric accents, custom Bahraini artwork — while the outdoor spaces lean into a breezy beach-club energy. Good for families (waterpark, kids club) and business travelers alike. The lobby's two-century-old preserved olive trees are a genuine talking point.
Book a city-view room (Manama skyline side) rather than Gulf-facing if active waterfront construction near the property is ongoing — guests have flagged this.
Why It Matters
Designed by SOM (architects of the Burj Khalifa) on its own private island, the hotel opened in March 2015 and is owned by the Royal Family of Bahrain. Pierre-Yves Rochon handled the interiors, drawing on 1930s ocean liner design. The spa is the second largest in the entire Four Seasons global portfolio at 3,485 sqm across four interconnected buildings. Wolfgang Puck runs three restaurants here, including CUT — named Bahrain's best restaurant five consecutive years. The 50th-floor Blue Moon Lounge is one of the highest bars in the Gulf.
A 68-story twin tower rising 200 meters above its own private 12-acre man-made island in Bahrain Bay, connected to Manama by bridge. The architecture is by SOM — the same firm that produced the Burj Khalifa — and the interiors are Pierre-Yves Rochon's love letter to 1930s ocean liner travel: Art Deco lines, Macassar ebony, mahogany, and a calming palette of beige, green, and gold pulled from the island's surrounding nature. With 273 rooms, five pools, a white-sand beach, one of the largest spas in the Four Seasons portfolio, and a Wolfgang Puck restaurant empire spanning seven venues, this place functions more like a self-contained resort city than a hotel.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Deluxe Room
Same 55 sqm footprint as the Premier Room but with partial rather than full Gulf views. Still one of the more spacious hotel rooms in Manama. Dedicated work space, full marble bathroom, Art Deco touches throughout. Good for well-traveled solo visitors who want room to spread out.
One king or two twin beds · 55 sqm
Deluxe Suite
At 94 sqm, the Deluxe Suite offers significant breathing room. Separate sleeping and living spaces with panoramic views. Designed for business trips or family vacations where extra space matters. Pierre-Yves Rochon's interior language stays consistent — restrained luxury with carefully placed jewel-tone accents.
One king bed, sofabed or crib available · 94 sqm
Executive Suite
The entry-level suite at 80 sqm, with a proper separate living room and Arabian Gulf views. Emerald green velvet sofas and jewel-toned accents punctuate the otherwise soothing neutral palette. The airy living room doubles well as an impromptu meeting space. Sofabed accommodates a third adult or child.
One king bed, sofabed or crib available · 80 sqm
Premier Room
The best of the standard rooms. Same 55 sqm as the Deluxe, but with separate living, working, and sleeping areas and uninterrupted 180° views of the Arabian Gulf. Pierre-Yves Rochon's ocean liner-inspired design is most apparent here — rich materials, soft blues and greens, crisp marble bathroom. The pick for couples or frequent business travelers who don't need a suite.
One king bed or two twin beds · 55 sqm
Presidential Suite
Matching the Royal Suite in size at 228 sqm, the Presidential Suite sits among the hotel's top-floor specialty accommodations. Separate living and entertaining areas with sweeping views. Private office and library access. Sleeps up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. Call to book — not available for online reservation.
One king bed, rollaway and crib · 228 sqm
Royal Suite
The crown of the hotel, literally. The Royal Suite sits on the top floor with unprecedented 360° views of Bahrain — Gulf on one side, Manama skyline on the other. Extra-spacious living areas with multiple seating zones. The U-shaped blue plush sofas are a signature design feature. Only by phone reservation.
One king bed, rollaway and crib · 228 sqm
State Suite
At 170 sqm, the State Suite is a serious amount of space. Uninterrupted Manama skyline views from the living areas, with classic glamour furnishings — warm orange velvet sofas and chairs are a signature touch. Rochon's interior design is at its most theatrical here, balancing old-world grandeur with clean modern lines.
One king bed, sofabed and crib · 170 sqm
Superior Room
The entry point, and still generously sized at 47 sqm. Full 180° views of the Arabian Gulf or Manama skyline — this is not a room that hides its outlook. Marble bathroom, Pierre-Yves Rochon interiors with Art Deco accents and a palette of beige, green, and gold. Comes with the Four Seasons custom bed, coffee machine, minibar, and flat-screen TV.
